Mandrake Linux 10.0-preview edition pretty much defines the shape of things to come in Linux land in 2004. With Kernel 2.6, KDE 3.2 beta and XFree86 4.4 beta, it doesn't leave much to be desired. This article refers to cooker snapshot as of December 31, 2003. Please note that this release is not a beta release. This is not even an alpha release. Its just something put together to show what we can expect from Mandrake 10.0. This release comes on only two CDs so some of the packages are missing. And as there are bound to be lot of bugs in this kind of release, I'll be concentrating more on the usability aspect. So let's see if it is worth drooling over.

The directory listing of same shared drives (songs etc) was coming up much faster than it was in Windows XP. and these shared drives are FAT32, something Windows is supposed to specialize in.
Are you talking about shared drives across a network? If so, how is the speed on local files/directories? With WinXP's Explorer in classic mode (where it should be), file/directory listing has always been instantaneous for me .. even on my slowest machine (P3-450). I have always had issues with the speed (or lack thereof) it takes the default KDE/Gnome file managers to render file/directory listings.
